Unofficial spokesman for Heart Attack Grill dies of heart attack

John Alleman loved Las Vegas’ Heart Attack Grill so much, his picture was on the menu. He suffered a heart attack last week right in front of the restaurant where he stood outside every day, urging customers to try the fatty food, the Las Vegas Sun reports.

Alleman, who was not employed by the restaurant, died Tuesday from complications of the heart attack at the age of 52, restaurant owner Jon Basso told The Sun. “He lived, ate and breathed the Heart Attack Grill,” Basso said.

Heart Attack Grill is known for its fries made with lard and its Quadruple Bypass Burger, which has almost 10,000 calories. Basso told Eater Vegas in 2012 that he warns customers about the risks of eating his food. “I don’t tell anyone to come to the Heart Attack Grill more often than once a month. I say it right in the door, ‘Caution this establishment is bad for your health.’”
